Boy rescued from earthquake rubble

A SIX-year-old Indonesian boy has been rescued after being trapped for two days under the rubble of his house after an earthquake that killed at least 271 people.

Heavy monsoon rains have led to a suspension of rescue efforts on the main island of Java, with the death toll likely to rise.

Many people are still missing, some badly-hit remote areas remain unreachable and more than 2,000 people were injured after Monday’s 5.6 magnitude quake.
